Health equity = human right that allows everyone to achieve their best health… by overcoming ALL available barriers! “Embedding Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in Critical Care @ #SCCM2023
“Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free…” proud New Yorker, proud 2nd gen immigrant, deeply disappointed in SCOTUS for abusing public health policy to keep migrants locked out of the US. #Title42#ACLU#Immigration#publichealth
BREAKING: The Supreme Court has allowed Title 42, which was set to end this month, to remain in place temporarily while litigation continues.
This decision allows our government to continue unlawfully expelling people seeking asylum. This cruel policy must end.
The holidays can be filled with joy and/or with sadness and pain. check in on those around you. Recommend help and resources like 988 to those who might be struggling with suicidal thoughts. Thinking of those who have lost to suicide and the families that miss them.
We know that reaching out for help can be scary, but we're always here for you. Text 988 - any time, day or night, any day of the year. We want to help you through. 💙

@EMSwami@nytimes Patients are already feeling sick, frightened, and likely having to go to the ED is not how they hoped to spend their day… thanks NYT for adding one more barrier to pts getting to the care they need…
@DNewmanToker@HopkinsMedicine@JHM_Armstrong @AHRQNews Response from U.S. Emergency Medicine organizations: "We believe that the report makes misleading, incomplete, and erroneous conclusions from the literature reviewed." Read more here: https://t.co/YLj9XWKVUH
. @BWHEmergencyMed leveraging tech to advance health equity. Black & Latinx patients with heart failure less likely to be admitted to Cardiology compared to white pts —> created system reminding clinicians of disparities at time of admission! #socialEM
Funding disparities=perpetuated health injustice. From 08-18, funding for cystic fibrosis appx 11.5x vs sickle cell —> pts w sickle cell (more often black) more likely to have repeat encounters for acute crisis and complications! Convo at BWH ED Health Equity Town Hall #socialEM
Grateful to listen, learn and reconnect with the @MAPublicHealth at the Annual Conference - Rooted in Community: Building Equity-Driven Policies! #publichealth#EnvironmentalJustice#equity
obvious to every physician, like it was obvious to everyone with common sense. Outraged at the initial autopsy which was morally an obstruction of justice. #blacklivesmatter Independent autopsy and Minnesota officials say George Floyd's death was homicide

5). Need to think about troponin and patient’s clinical picture! 5% of ED patients not presenting for MI has positive troponin. Another great example of “Treat the patient, not the number.” PMID: 30867154 #ACEP19
Practice before negotiations. It is difficult under duress to deliver your best self. Practice deflecting microaggressions, what to say when someone violates your space... . #AAWEP#ACEP2019#EMRAatACEP19#genderequity#paygap
This is appalling. ICE needs to be held accountable for Roxsana Hernández's death, and for destroying evidence related to her death. https://t.co/5rDDpOfJMy
EM can leverage its unique insight on root cause to shift the care paradigm & alter outcomes; raw, unfiltered ED presentations of human nature,human condition, & all what constitutes life 24/7 is our opportunity.
